A chance to tinker with new tools and technologies
Where: Newton Grand Hall, Avenue Campus, University of Northampton
When: Wednesday 8th June, 5.30pm-8.00pm
A Digital Playdate is a chance to find out about some technologies you are curious to try through hands on play alongside others. It is based on the acronym ‘People Learning and Asking Y’.
Rather than leaving the event with a long list of promising things to look up, you’ll go away with some fresh skills that you are confident to try out with your learners.
We’ll have a choice of workshops and demos for you to join in with, including greenscreening, making photospheres, iPads full of apps, virtual reality headsets, robots, filmmaking and animation, lightboxes and dark dens.
There’ll be some digital leaders at hand to support your playful exploration.
We’d love some of you to share what you’ve learned at the end, and we’ll aim to capture everyone’s ideas before and after the event so that you have something lasting to take away.
‘A playful society is filled with problem-solving, resiliency, communication, and exploration of acceptable boundaries and risk. Play promotes all these faculties, and more.’
